Argomenti dell'insegnamento
The course will cover the following topics: • Turbulence insights • General features of granular flows • Advanced measuring techniques in fluid mechanics: - Experimental methods, e.g. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV), Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA) - Experimental instruments - Experimental applications

Modalità di insegnamento
Lectures and tutorials in class; experiments in the laboratory.

Obiettivi formativi
By the end of the course, students are supposed to be able to: - Knowledge and understanding: explain the main principles relevant to the topics addressed in the course; develop an intuitive comprehension. - Applying knowledge and understanding: give examples of real applications and practical problems to underline how the topics treated in the course are used within scientific and engineering activity. - Making judgements: show the ability to make autonomous judgements in the choice and comparison of the suitable methods and tools for the solution of scientific and engineering problems involving the mechanics of fluids. - Communication skills: communication skills to correctly and properly present the concepts acquired in the course and the analysis of experimental results. - Learning skills: Ability to autonomously extend the knowledge acquired during the study course by reading and understanding scientific and technical documentation.

Modalità d'esame
The assessment is based on a discussion on the topics covered within the course and on the presentation of the analysis of the results of the experimental activity.

Criteri di valutazione
Students will be evaluated on the base of the oral discussion. Evaluation is based on a 30 points scale. At the examination, knowledge and understanding of the topic (25%), the attitude at applying knowledge and understanding (20%) and at making judgments (20%), the communication skills (20%) and the learning skills (15%) will be assessed.
